Our scripture today is John 14:26 (MEV).
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.
Jesus tells us we will not be alone after His death, resurrection, and return to the Father. While He will not be physically present with us, God has promised us the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us. We read about the disciples receiving the Holy Spirit in Acts 1. Through this presence we are blessed with a constant connection to God and the energy necessary to continue the work to which Jesus calls us. The gifts of the Spirit empower our discipleship and guide us where we are needed.
Gracious God, You sent Jesus to save us and You send the Holy Spirit to be Your presence with us always. May we go in Your name, sharing the love and grace You have for all Your children. Amen.
